The Cowboy

I see you out on the ranch
On your horse, like you are every morning
Plaid shirt soft on your strong shoulders
Blue jeans fitted to your slim hips
Stetson covering your sunshine coloured hair
I keep my gaze discreet
As I stand on the porch
I’ve felt the same since I first saw you
A mere fortnight ago
The flutters in my stomach
Won’t go away
Only growing with every passing, hazel gaze
Every kind, heart stopping smile you send my way
I quell my nerves
And take a courageous breath
Today will be the day I say
